Windows 7: 10 Versions of Windows 8

Will Microsoft ship ten versions of Windows 8? Files in the registry within the consumer preview imply it will.

The Windows 8 Beta blog revealed that a number of registry keys hinting at different Windows 8 versions can be found in the system registry. PCMag.com was able to confirm the blog's findings by using RegEdit on the one of the product entries.

To be fair, they did say this isn't the finalized lineup. It's also fairly obvious we aren't going to be concerned with anything with "pre-release" in the name, and most people won't likely be bothering with "starter" or "enterprise" editions either.

That leaves us with home basic/premium, pro/pro plus, and ultimate. Not all that different from Win7 really. I'm curious about the pro edition split, but that's about it.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing Windows 8 get delayed for about 3 years as I'm perfectly happy and content with Windows 7.

Everyone is happy with Windows 7, and in my opinion Windows 8 is a step back. The Metro interface looks great on tablets, but is completely useless on desktop computers. Windows 8 will only be released in four versions, which is a bit better than the six of Windows 7.

How Many Versions of Windows 7How many editions of Windows 7 will there be?
Microsoft still hasn't officially said how many versions of Windows 7 it will sell but, based on what we've seen so far, it looks like "many" is a safe bet. We do know that Windows 7 will be available in 32-bit and 64-bit flavors, and while not all...
